OF THE SPIRIT THAT I AM

CATEGORY

life

They tried to deny

me and you…

who we are

and who I am…

as the beloved of

I am who is…

but you can’t deny

creation…

Out of the darkness

of creation, I have come…

beautifully adorned:

I am a cloud of joy

and the burning bush

of flaming faith…

I am a river of Jordan…

and a lion tamer

in a David-like den…

I am a tri-cooling shield

in a blazing furnace

and the wind in the sail

of a Noah-like ark…

I am the force of the exodus

out of the valley

of the shadow of death—up

to Zion’s Mountain top…

I am the wheel in the middle

of a wheel and the fuel of a train

of an underground railroad…

I am the energy of marching

feet over trouble waters and

resuscitation of deferred

dreams still overcoming…

I am the strength of hued Simons

still aiding Calvary resurrections

of soaring peace and love…

I am indeed the child of the Alpha

and the Omega—the soul of the God

of the oppressed—the nourishing

blood baptizing their coming renewal…

I am—you see—the Trinity’s third:

the Holy Spirit riding The Holy Ghost

chariot and nothing can neither

stop nor turn me around…nothing…

I am the juice of the fruit

of the vine of your liberation—

the liberating juice of the God

of the oppressed…

I am the solidifying matter

in your hued lives—

enlightening the blind world…

I am the Holy Spirit

abiding in you and yours:

I Am That I Am…
